What a wonderful bakery! After having lunch at Mazra, we crossed the street for dessert and ordered a pistachio berry croissant to share (and try out). It was so soft, flavorful and delicious. As good as Backhaus for me (and less crowded). Will be back to try their other food and drinks another time. It all looked good and the staff was very friendly and nice. read more

Clean location, friendly staff. Menus are printed and on the wall. Have variety of milk substitutes. Purchased A honey lavender latte not too sweet. Chai latte with almond milk which I loved. Tiramisu latte that tasted just like that. Pistachio latte a bit too sweet but good. Ube snickerdoodle has a hint of ube.. but the Ube croissant was a delicious! A must try again. Visit from 7/19/16 @8:20am. read more

After coming across some drink photos from Zörek on yelp, I knew that they were a place that I had to check out. Once I finally got to visit them, they quickly became one of my favourite cafés. Luckily for me, they are located in my home city, just a few minutes drive from my house. Giving San Bruno a taste of the Levant (a historical and geographical region on the eastern shores of the Mediterranean Sea that spans modern-day Israel, Lebanon, Jordan, Syria, Palestine, Cyprus, and parts of southern Turkey), Zörek's name is a nod to börek, the delicate, flaky phyllo pastry stuffed with fillings like mushrooms, potatoes, spinach or feta that is the specialty of the shoppe. The Levantine Bakehouse Café also serves baklava, gözleme (a traditional savoury Turkish flatbread stuffed with various fillings) and Turkish pastries. Located at a corner spot on El Camino Real at San Bruno Avenue, the coffeehouse is one of the few places on the street with a private parking lot, a spacious one. Inside, the small venue, with hardwood floors and green tiled counter, offers limited stool seating at a narrow bar-height table against the front window. They also have a front patio with tables and chairs. On the day of our first visit, I had to wipe lingering crumbs off of the window table where we sat. Not sure why, but although the café is open until 5 PM, they close the kitchen at 3:45 PM. As such, no hot food items are available for order for over an hour before closing time. Major bummer. Prepackaged sweets like ASSORTED FLAVORS of TURKISH DELIGHTs ($5.00) and BAKLAVA VARIETY PACKs ($6.00) are still purchasable after the kitchen is closed. DJ and I shared one of the latter with one each of traditional, pistachio and chocolate baklava. All three flavours were yummy, but the chocolate bordered being a bit too sweet for me. Zörek also delivers an exceptional coffee and tea programme, specializing in Levantine-inspired beverages. Heads-up, though - milk alternatives incur a $0.75 extra charge per drink. I have tried and highly recommend the iced versions of both the PISTACHIO MATCHA and HONEY LAVENDER MATCHA LATTE with almond milk. Initially, the nutty tea milk beverage didn't have much pistachio taste until the barista gave me an extra squirt of the flavoured syrup, which made a world of difference, YUM. The lavender of the floral-toned tea latte tasted like a nicely flavoured simple syrup, just how I like it. My bad - when I ordered the lavender refreshment, I neglected to specify the almond milk, but the barista happily made another one for me with the milk alternative and let me keep the original with real milk to give to my husband. DJ also tried the PISTACHIO LATTE, iced, and enjoyed the specialty espresso drink. I will mos def need to try the coffees as well...cuz, you know, I will keep returning again and again. read more

The sujuk manakeesh here is great. Think of it as an Armenian pepperoni pizza and you probably like pepperoni pizza. Good coffee too.

Super cute cafe with good coffee and outdoor seating. We came by after landing at SFO early and ordered multiple coffees. Everyone really enjoyed their different flavored lattes. I got the tiramisu latte, which came with a little lady finger cookie. We didn't try any food, but the bagels being made in front of us looked delicious! read more

Best flavored iced coffee lattes in the bay with consistency. **Honey Lavendar Latte and their Ube Latte. I might have gotten other flavors.. but I can't recall. They have lovely bouqets from the Beloved Flower Garden, business on hand should you if you're looking to gift something for a loved one, got my man one from here. Their cookies/deserts are really good. I did make the mistake of eating the twice baked crossitants not realizing that those usually have almonds.. so be mindful of that. Their bagels - they get from a different facility not in house just FYI; I did ask about soy allergens which they couldn't confirm but I took a risk and got one of their High Protein bagel sandwich which was very good. And their Beef N' Herb Manakeesh is divine, I get one every trip. Service - great, ambiance - great. read more

I absolutely loved everything about this place!! We came around 10 am and the place was packed with a line almost out the shop. They have a self-ordering kiosk with some menu items but no specialty items. Barista was friendly and had some great recommendations. We tried the Iced Pistachio Latte, Iced Salted Caramel Latte, and an Iced Tiramisu Latte. The coffee flavors were fantastic with house-made syrups and flavorful whipped cream topped on each beverage. The baklava trio was definitely a must try. Food was great here with fresh ingredients in each item. Will be looking forward to coming back and trying more menu items. read more

Zorek is a hidden gem! We visited on a Sunday (late) morning and found it quite busy. The cafe itself was tiny and cute, with mostly (dog-friendly!) outdoor seating. The interior had cool green tiling on the counter, hanging plants, and a little stand with fresh flowers for sale. Ordering was convenient on the electronic kiosk. For drinks, I ordered the Mint Lemonade (so tasty and refreshing), but the caffeinated beverages looked awesome, as well. For food, the 3 of us ordered the Pistachio Berry Twice Bake Croissant, Smoked Salmon & Labneh Bagel, Cream Cheese & Heirloom Tomato Bagel, and Armenian Sujuk to share. The Pistachio Berry Croissant was unreal! The outside was perfectly flakey and the inside was so gooey and delicious. The bagels themselves were mediocre (I always have low expectations for California bagels), but the filling was great, especially the smoked salmon and labneh. The Armenian Sujuk (pizza) as very tasty, and was also great leftover the next day. Service was quick and friendly. Would happily return for more! read more

Zorek had some amazing reviews on Yelp, so we came by for a quick bite to start off our day. It's a small cafe with a few outdoor tables available. * Beef & Herbs Manakeesh $14 - This flatbread is one of their more popular items and has a great flavor to it. I guess they used to include some kind of beet color item in a container but ours didn't have it unfortunately. * Smoked Salmon & Labneh Bagel $12 - This bagel sandwich looks just perfect in its container, along with the pickles, egg, and olives. * Original Milk Cake $7 - A light and tasty cake to close out this meal. They do have a nice variety of beverages, but we didn't get to try any on this trip. We'd go back though! read more

I'm glad to finally tick this place off of my list. Being a corner shop, it should be visited more often, but I just keep on forgetting. The shop is pretty small, with some bar level counter on the side for standing room, you got a view of the bagel bar, a table full of Turkish treats, and a side shelf of fresh bouquets. Some outside seating without much barrier from the dust and smog of El Camino Real. Not the outdoor view I wanted, so my visit is more of a grab and go. I'm very curious about the food items here. I only came in for one small treat and my most needed caffeine fix. Got a spinach pastry and a black sesame latte. Pretty much on any of their specialty coffee, they have a matcha version of it. When I remember to turn into their lot again, I'm planning on trying their cardamom match or pistachio matcha. Maybe topping it off with a bagel if I want the calories, the spinach pastry tastes alright but held on like a limp d___. Not my type of pastry. read more

Walked down to Zorek to give it a try and it was pretty good, but there were definitely areas of improvement in my opinion. Given its size, we decided to snag a table upon arrival but given we had never been before, it would have been helpful if a couple laminated menus were available. Eventually boyfriend just told me dealer's choice so I got us a ginger pull apart since almost every pastry was sold out and a zataar and cheese manakeesh to have a savory balance. The ginger pull apart was pulled out the pastry case but wasn't warmed or offered to be warmed and as such, it was hard, dry, and not great in that state. There were moments where I could tell it had potential but the texture was just off putting. As for the drinks, my cardamom latte was delish! Boyfriend's pistachio matcha was interesting...not sure how we felt about it. The matcha was the stronger of the two flavors. The flatbread took a bit of time to come out but it was really tasty! It was a little annoying having to get up and check periodically on the status of this dish though. Not sure the purpose of ordering "for here". Overall, I will be back. It's great to have a tasty cafe within walking distance that's not just a Starbucks. read more

Cane with a hard boiled egg seed, sprouts, olives, and cucumber. The food was ready quickly, and the staff were nice. This dish had a nice base with cheese cooked on top. The cheese had a nice flavor. Reminded me of pizza but instead of a tomato base it is made with walnuts and bell peppers. The store has a nice aesthetic to it. I thought the price was pretty good too. read more

Officially one of my favorite places to grab a good quality Iced Latte! They specialize in a good quality Iced Pistachio Latte. I wished they had other Latte flavors as I love the quality of their coffee. DRINKS: 9/10 SERVICE: 9/10 AMBIANCE: 10/10 DRINKS: 9/10 When I first tried their latte, I was stunned. The strong depth of the coffee balanced so well with the sweetness of the pistachio and creaminess of the in house pistachio whipped cream. This latte is well balanced and I love how I am not tasting any artificial flavors or too much sweetness. I substitute my drink for Oat milk and love that they use Califia Oat or Almond milk, so that's a bonus! Their drinks are pretty pricey but you truly get what you pay for. I am one to continue the hefty price if the quality is top tier and satisfies the way I like my latte's! Their Medium and Large size cups are long lasting as well so it takes me awhile to finish the drink! I still have yet to try their food. But they have a lot of savory food items and baked goods. SERVICE: 9/10 The staff are very friendly and passionate about using good fresh quality ingredients at their restaurant. AMBIANCE: 10/10 I truly lobe the ambiance here! It is very cozy and decorated with so many thoughtful pieces that signify where Zorek comes from! There is only outdoor seating. Parking is available but only a few spots! read more

Signing back in later to add the photo of the Veggie Heaven bagel. We stopped by this local cafe on Monday after our visit to Barnes & Noble. When we got to the cafe we noticed that it was outdoor seating only so the view you get is of the street, which isn't too nice. Inside the cafe was really cute. We ordered 4 items: 1. Veggie Heaven bagel ordered on a Jalapeno Cheddar bagel. This was toasted to perfect but I wish it was slightly less toasted so you can get a chew on the breading inside. Otherwise, the toasted bread paired well with the fresh vegetables for a light and savory bite. The chef did not skimp us on the cream cheese filling. 2. Zaatar and cheese flatbread. We thought this item was interesting but just okay. It was edible and exactly what's advertised. However, be careful chewing. I'm not sure what goes into toasting the flatbread but one bite I thought I broke my tooth on a seed or something. Not sure what it was. The flatbread itself was a little salty for our liking but if you immediately have a cherry tomato or a bite of the side cucumber, you can cut through a bit of that saltiness. 3. Tiramisu latte was really good! As the ice melted, I feel like the drink tasted even better. There was no acidity in the coffee so the drink was easy on our stomachs. 4. Salted caramel latte was also really easy on the stomach and a perfect pairing for the bagel. Overall we do think we will be back but next time we will order the flatbread with the sausage instead. read more

I regret to write this review! I genuinely like this place's drinks and food but I haven't been able to eat or get my coffee here the last two times. It's genuinely the best coffee shop near Avalon apartments yet my last two times I have come back empty handed! Service has been bad! Visit 1 - the cashier told me that they have a private event so they can't serve food or coffee anymore and I had gone in at 4:30pm which is working hours! The cashier is our usual polite guy so I went on my way and found another coffee shop that added to my drive. Visit 2 Got there earlier than 4:30 this time and badly wanted coffee that time. I was also hungry so I wanted some borek too! The place was being run by a girl and a chef at that time. They were both working on a different to go order for 15 plus mins. They were prepping at least 15 to go boxes and didn't bother to update me until I asked what's going on. When I realized that my order is not going to be fulfilled today, I decided to walk away but wasn't met with any genuine apology or anything. Another group came and left because they also thought they weren't going to be able to get coffee that day. I genuinely hope to drink coffee there some day but with my last two experiences, I don't even know if they are open or making coffee when I go! Hey Owner, you should check in or help the staff when they are short staffed or offer return discounts when you guys turn people away! read more

Came here on a Saturday morning with my wife and our dog, patio is dog-friendly which we appreciated, and our pup was absolutely glued to the table the entire time. We tried the first two specialty bagels on the board. The Smoked Salmon & Labneh was the star, my wife's order and honestly the reason we'd come back. Great texture on the cream cheese, well-balanced toppings, solid everything bagel base. The Cream Cheese & Heirloom Tomato was fine but not memorable. The herb cream cheese was thinner than I expected, more spread than schmear. Didn't wow me, but that's a preference thing. Iced salted caramel latte hit the spot. Nice touch that the specialty bagels come with sides. Price check, two bagels and two drinks ran us close to $50. That stings a little, but the quality is there and the portions are honest. Not an everyday stop, but worth it for the salmon bagel. Would return, just ordering differently next time. read more

Wow! Really awesome coffee shop. Great food options to go or enjoy in their patio. Located at the corner of a busy street. They had sweets and some breakfast items but I was just there to grab coffee to go. The iced pistachio latte was so good! One of the best I've ever had. The cream on top wasn't too sweet either and there were sprinkles of pistachio on top. Highly recommend! read more

Even though they're known for Börek, a flaky pastry filled with savory and sweet fillings, I didn't see it on their menu during my visit. Instead, they had Manakeesh, a Levantine flatbread topped with cheese, meat, or za'atar. Order at the register and pick up your order once it's called. Since we just had lunch, we passed on the savory items. Our order: Cardamom Spice Matcha (12 oz): $7.00 +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Sometimes matcha can be grainy, but this was smooth and creamy. +Cute latte art -Cardamom overpowered the matcha Latte (12 oz): +Drinkable temperature: Hot, but doesn't burn your mouth/tongue +Cute latte art -On the milky side: Espresso wasn't very strong. Turkish Delight (9 pieces): $5.00 +These were so pretty, with a variety of colors and shapes. -Super sweet: If you have a sweet tooth these will probably be up your alley. -Pre-boxed: It would've been nice if we could've selected our own assortment. Side notes: 1.) Outdoor table seating w/umbrellas: Luckily it wasn't too chilly when we went, but if it's one of those cloudy/foggy days to-go may be best. 2.) Restroom available for customers. 3.) Free parking in their lot *Verdict: 3.5 stars rounded up to 4 d/t service. The barista/cashier (I think he might be the owner since he was also making the Manakeesh) was friendly and patient. He took the time to explain all the flavors of the Turkish Delight and provided recommendations when I was deciding on which matcha to get. If I was in the area, I would return to try their Börek and Manakeesh. read more

It's a small quaint cafe shop! You have to line up and order at the menu on the board. They have specials too!! Some of the food from the yelp may not be available, so make sure you double check or ask. Seating is outside. A few black metal tables lined up outside on both sides. There's some parking near the cafe and up the hill. There's pastries looked so good!! At the register they had different art knick knacks so you can shop to help out local artists.

Such a cute cafe! They have wifi and a bunch of small vendor items sold inside. The cashier was so nice and makes some of the trinkets sold at the front of the store! The miniature menu she made at the cashier impressed me the most. It looked exactly like the zatar cheese manakeesh I ordered. Unfortunately all seating is outside with one bar table if you stand inside. Tried the pistachio latte, mint lemonade, berry matcha, zatar cheese manakeesh, the meat manakeesh, and a wrap. Mint lemonade- very refreshing lightly sweet not too sour strong mint 9/10 Berry matcha - nice berry flavor subtle matcha not bad 8.5/10 Zatar cheese - soft and salted tasty. Like a pizza on a soft and lightly crispy flatbread. 8.8/10 Would come again to hang out with friends or try another drink! read more

I'm only giving them a 3 stars bc I went in today and ordered the cheese and Zatar and the beef and herb option to take home to my family and then waited and they give me these pizza boxes with flat breads, I was expecting the bourek with the filo dough how I had ordered the first time a few months back, didn't realize they no longer offer that anymore....bummer but still great coffee...honestly had the flat breads and the cheese one was ok but the meat one wasn't good at all...I'll be back for coffee though! read more

Sitting here at Zorek, and I can't stop taking photos in awe of how beautiful everything is at this cafe! From the traditional aesthetic to the beauty in their craftsmanship of drinks and pastries, I fell in love with this place quickly! The staff are kind and welcoming, greeting us with a smile as we entered the room. I love how there are so many plants in this cafe, so beautiful, I can't emphasize that enough! Their menu is very unique as well, you won't find this at just any local cafe. I ordered the pistachio latte(hot) and my partner ordered the pistachio matcha(hot), alongside a spinach pastry and blackberry pistachio croissant, both warmed to perfection! Both indoor and outdoor settings are aesthetically stimulating. I'll let my photos do the talking. You need to see it yourself, so next time you're around San Bruno, drop into cafe Zorek!

I think I really wanted to like this place, but realistically it was just ok. The cafe itself is really cute, with tables and chars outside if you choose to dine here. I ordered a pistachio latte and a pistachio matcha, and to be expected I think the matcha here is just ok! for $8 a drink I would've wanted the quality to be better. I'm not sure if it was near their closing time or something but I feel like all the workers were either hiding in the kitchen and people were rotating in and out from cash to kitchen. I ordered a croissant and the guy there did not help me heat it up so I ended up eating a cold croissant. Anyways, I ended up waiting at least 15 minutes for both of my drinks when I wanted to just pop in and pop out real quick. read more

Been wanting to try Zorek for a while and finally got a chance. Arrived on Saturday at around noon. No tables indoors, only outdoors. There was a couple of tables open when we arrived. It's not a huge menu. Ordered the Pistachio latte - probably should've given it a stir to distribute the cream and pistachio paste but it was a good latte. Also ordered the Kaymak and Jam, so rich and quite filling. Maybe not right away, but I'd return for that. Kiddo ordered the smoked salmon bagel - he enjoyed it but maybe a bit on the pricey side for what it is. read more

Zorek cafe shares the same owners as the restaurant Mazra, it offers Mediterranean-inspired beverages and breakfast/lunch items. Seatings are limited (outdoor only) and the food is mainly for to-go. You order from the counter and grab your beverages and food when they call your names. My favorite is (still) their Pistachio Latte. Coffee is on the pricey side ($7 for a small specialty latte) in this neighborhood, I come over occasionally for a treat. read more

I recently stopped by to try some croissants. Their croissants are very heavy and very buttery, and they are more like dessert croissants. They are stuffed to the brim with filling and will make you very full so I would keep that in mind. I did like the croissants I tried but it's basically the only thing I can eat for a meal. The hazelnut chocolate croissant is tasty but definitely on the sweeter side with all the filling. Same thing for the ube and the pistachio croissants. This cafe also has some drinks which I will have to try next time! read more

I'm a big fan of Mazra so I was excited to see Zorek come up in San Bruno. The pistachio matcha latte was well balanced and not too sweet so you could taste both the pistachio and matcha flavors distinctly. The zaatar and cheese bread was good and came with an egg on top so it was unexpectedly filling. The red sauce it came with (not sure what exactly was inside) goes really well with the manaesh. read more

Like most dudes, I get a lot of good advice from my barber. (On a side note, guys get yourself a real barber, it will change your life). While getting my haircut, he happened to mention he's been getting his coffee from Zorek lately. He recommended the pistachio latte as well as a pastry called zataar cheese. Let me tell you, my guy does not miss! Finally got a chance to swing by here today and let me tell you, I think I found my new coffee place too! Now mind you, my barber really hyped up the zataar cheese saying it was really good. Me being sheep and used to Starbucks pastries(no knock on Starbucks) but I was expecting a microwaved dinky pastry. Boy was I wrong, not only was the zataar cheese freshly baked, it could be a meal on its own (refer to picture). It was fresh, flaky and cheesy all in the right ways. It even came with jammy eggs! I went with the iced pistachio latte and it was yummy too. It was nutty and sweet which I really liked. The only odd thing is they don't give you a lid which was ok today because I was not in any rush. I'll ask next time if they provide one. The place is family owned and is a nice quaint cafe with outside seating . Very vibey if you have time to relax and just chill with your latte. In conclusion, 1. guys, get yourself a barber and 2. Go visit Zorek and grab the pistachio latte with a zataar cheese. read more

Same owners as Mazra, ain't no way this place isn't amazing! Conveniently located, unassuming, and bringing something San Bruno was missing. I've stopped by a few times, right when they open and around noon on weekdays. It hasn't been super busy and orders are coming out quick. I'm hooked on the pistachio latte. The cream on top is the perfect level of sweetness and balances the coffee beautifully. Priced at $7, really can't complain. I've also tried a classic blueberry muffin. It was fresh and a great bite. Literally, the only reason I haven't tried their borek yet is because I've gone in looking for a quick, small bite and their portion sizes are quite large! These come with a small salad, pickles, olives, cucumber, tomato. Hospitality is great. Parking out front. Only thing missing is a few tables to lounge. Worth the try! read more

IMO, Mazra put this sleepy town on the map and is one of the few food destinations in San Bruno. With many accolades including being recognized by the James Beard Foundation, their sister bakery, Zörek was hella promising. Zörek, a Levantine Bakehouse & Café opened in early April and apparently *something* happened, they closed for several weeks and reopened again later that month (visited on their second week of reopening). Open for takeout, delivery, and limited dine in (handful of tables outside). Easy parking in their private lot. M E N U Array of savory and sweet börek, a pastry is made of a thin flaky filo filled with items like mushrooms, potatoes, beef, or pistachio. They also have pastries and cookies. Coffee, espresso drinks, and tea. D R I N K * Pistachio Matcha Latte ($8) I was asked by the kind barista if I wanted whole milk or oat milk. I was confused because the menu says, "housemade pistachio milk". She said, the pistachio milk is made from regular milk or oat milk so it's not *really* pistachio milk. While they use good quality matcha, hand-whisked to order with a strong earthly flavor, this was more of an einspänner (the pistachio cloud cream was white). The only pistachio flavor came from the drizzle of pistachio cream on top. B Ö R E K * Beef & Herb Börek ($12): https://tinyurl.com/3ew9zupz Fresh out of the oven, the börek was shatteringly crispy with a savory, well-spiced ground beef and caramelized onion filling. It can get quite rich so I like that they included pickles and a cabbage slaw for an refreshing, acidic in-between bites. With the soft boiled egg, cucumber, olive, and kumquat, this makes for a nice smaller meal. S E R V I C E Friendly and prompt. Order was ready in less than 10 minutes on a weekday around lunchtime. Overall, there's only one other börek bakery that I know of in the bay (Nahita in Sunnyvale) so Zörek is a welcome addition to those who live in the SF Peninsula area. Can't wait for their shawarma stand to open in Mission-Bernal! read more

Owned by the same owners as Mazra, I knew I had to stop by the next time I had to go to SFO during the day! I came around noon time on a weekend - parking lot is quite small so it might be hard to find parking. I decided to try out the Pistachio Latte. This was good but I felt like the pistachio flavor was not very prominent even after mixing, and I realized that the pistachio butter didn't really dissolve into the drink that well so I was left with all that when I finished the drink. Not sure if I just didn't mix it well because the pistachio taste was definitely there in the butter. Decided to also pick up the Spinach and Feta borek! This was larger than I expected (in a good way), especially for the price. It was simple but still flavorful. I'd definitely get this again next time I'm here. There's some outdoor seating but not a lot of indoor seating (there was just a standing table facing the window). Nice place to eat in when the weather outside is nice! read more
